Vegan Toners & Exfoliating Mists for All Skin Types
Frequently Asked Questions
What are facial toners?
A toner helps rebalance and prep your skin after cleansing. It removes any dirt, makeup, excess oil or residue left behind after cleansing, while supporting smoother texture and improved hydration. A hydrating treatment lotion is a lightweight, pre-serum liquid that delivers instant moisture with plant-powered humectants—leaving skin feeling soft, refreshed, and ready for your next step. Our revitalizing essence lotion is a lightweight essence powered by phytotech vegan collagen from plants that saturates skin with hydration. Blue-green algae extract, a retinol-like alternative, refines pores and visibly smoothes the appearance of fine lines.
Do I need a toner in my skincare routine?
While not mandatory, a toner can be a transformative step that elevates your entire skincare ritual. Toners help gently exfoliate by lifting away lingering impurities and dead skin cells after cleansing, leaving skin smoother and more receptive to the products that follow. They also help rebalance and hydrate, supporting a healthy-looking complexion.
Toners refresh and condition skin with a lightweight, sensorial touch. Cooling, aromatic mists helps refine the look of pores while promoting better absorption of serums and moisturizers. Think of it as a daily reset that preps skin to get the most out of your routine.
When should I apply toner in my skincare routine?
Apply toner right after cleansing—while your skin is still damp. It preps your skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively. This step helps lock in the benefits of your full ritual. A revitalizing essence lotion hydrates, smoothes skin and refines pores.
What is the difference between a toner and an exfoliant?
A toner helps rebalance and refresh skin after cleansing, often adding hydration or refining texture. An exfoliant, on the other hand, works to remove dead skin cells—either physically or chemically—to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. Aveda offers gentle, multi-benefit formulas that combine both toning and exfoliating benefits in one step.
What is an exfoliant, and why should I use one?
An exfoliant is a skincare product designed to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin—helping to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Exfoliating supports skin renewal, unclogs pores, and allows your other skincare products to absorb more effectively. Our vegan exfoliating toner gently resurfaces the skin with naturally derived salicylic acid from wintergreen, leaving your skin feeling soft, refreshed, and visibly refined—without harsh scrubs or irritation.
